before operating the Edger. To remove:
Loosen the two mount knobs on the right side of the blade guard. Lift the guard from
the machine and remove the shipping block.
Replace the blade guard. Retighten the mount knobs.
2. Unfold the rear leg. Swing the leg all the way down until they lock in position. Be sure the
pivot bolts seat in the brace notches.
WARNING! When setting up or transporting the Edger,
avoid areas marked as pinch points. These are located
near the rear folding leg and the engine pulley. Keep your
hands away from these areas to prevent injury.

5. Adjust the front guide fence:
See Figure 3-4.
The guide scale shows how many inches the front fence is from the blade. This
helps you to determine the width of lumber you will be sawing.
For example, if you wish to cut 2" lumber, you will need to adjust the front fence 2"
from the blade, or to the 2" mark on the guide scale. The front fence can be adjusted
as often as necessary.
The front fence can be adjusted from 0 to 12". To adjust the front fence, pull the
fence lock handle and slide the fence to the desired position. Release the fence lock
handle to lock the fence into place.

3.2 Alignment
Proper machine alignment is important for optimum cutting performance. Check machine
alignment often and adjust as necessary. To check:
1. Adjust the front fence to the 5" position. Be sure the blade clutch handle is disengaged.
2. Loosen the mount knobs and remove the blade guard. Unscrew and remove the blade
bearing cover plate.
See Figure 3-5.
3. Tie one end of a string (string must be approximately 11’ or longer in length) to the front
fence tab. Route the string around the front end of the fence. Pulling the string tight, align
it with the face of the front fence along the entire length of fence.

4. Use a C-clamp to secure the string to the rear frame cross tube, maintaining the string
alignment to the front fence.
5. Measure the distance between the face of the blade and the string at each end of the
blade. The measurements should be the same as the front fence setting (5 inches) at
both ends.
See Figure 3-6.
6. If necessary, loosen the blade shaft bearing mount bolts and adjust the position of the
blade. Retighten the bearing mount bolts. After adjusting the blade, loosen the blade filler
plate thumb screws and adjust the plate close to, but not touching the blade. Retighten
the thumb screws.
